Whitney Point Lake Bs thread

[mmdrevo]

We plan on heading up that way tomorrow morning. How has the fishing been up that way? Was it me or did the water seem cloudy and merky today.

[bigal409]

The fishing there was lousey for me today. I thought the water wasn't as clear as it was last week.

I was wondering what all the sirens were for, thank god he is ok.  Boy was the ice making ice today, loud as hell! We fished out of Dorchester from 6am till like 2pm. 2 of us and we ended up with 1 monster gill and 2 huge perch( biggest I had ever seen there)

Me and a buddy were also out about 6:00 to 2:00. Cloudy water and didn't pull up any fish. Still a nice day to be out on the ice. Definitely bring cleats if you go Sunday.

[bigal409]

Unless the plans change I'll be back tomorrow. After the luck I had today I don't have any idea where to go. The fish have been evading me for a couple outings now.

It was frustrating! Seeing them streak up on the flasher and then turn around like I was offering them spam instead of steak. Maybe the rain and murky water had some play in the foul luck.....

[bigal409]

Yes the dead Sea comes alive once in a while. Wasn't my weekend though. I got skunked both days.

The dirty water is hurting us....Got  a few today......drilled a lot of holes to find fish that would bite.  Lake is still dropping, cracking along the east shore was pretty intense!!!

Our crew drove right past Whitney point lake and headed north to Papish pond. The decision to try our luck here paid off with some steady fishing. We set up shop on the noisy 6 inch ice this morning and had a busy morning chasing tip ups. Pickerel dominated the day with a few nice size ones. A few small perch and one gill were landed as well. This small body of water is what we needed to get some confidence back and the rod to bend not to mention see fish on our machines! Will be back on the point again soon I'm sure.

The channel has 7" plus wherever I drilled over the weekend. The north end where river comes in is open. That's where the ice boater fell thru on Saturday.

Lol, sorry to laugh at your misfortune, my friend. At least you'll have a good story to tell! Trust me on this.

[mono_mono]

The only thing worse than actually ice fishing Whitney Point, would be dropping anything worth more than ten cents down the hole. lol - I would rather pick rotten fruit with my X wife's parents. Good luck fellas!

[tarmstrong24]

you my friend were fishing the wrong spot, i was there 30 minutes and had a 20" walleye, 12" crappie, 12" perch and numerous small mouths, great fishing morning until "the incident"

[monkeyyboness]

Everyone wants to land on the mother load of fish everytime. Gotta work for them fish in there sometimes. Lots of nice fish in there just gotta find where they are.

No, not really. I used to fish Ice fish WP with a passion. Something changed, something is off. Something aint right. It's been that way going on a dozen years. I know LOTS of guys who won't go near it..Can you find fish? Yes, I am sure. And good for you guys who put the time in and find them. I have been driving to the ADK's for trout, Salmon and lakers this winter. It's something new and different and at times frustrating. But I love it

[FingerLaker607]

Did you lose that I phone this morning?  I'm out there now. Good 6-8" but no fish as usual for me...I know a Coue of you guys do well here but I haven't figured it out and have put some serious time in

There was also open water near the east shore just north of the islands.... about 60 yards from shore.  I didn't go close enough to see if it was a series of gas holes or a large crack.  I was on about 5 in of ice over there.

Be careful if we get snow covering the ice.

yesterday about noon
